We anticipate a live quorum call around 10:00pm. The schedule for tonight is a bit fluid. Once a quorum is established, we anticipate a voice vote on a motion to table the McConnell amendment to the underlying bill. Then we need to dispose of the ACA amendment, which is subject to a point of order that the amendment is not germane post-cloture. There could be a vote (voice or roll call) in relation to an appeal of the ruling of the chair. Upon disposition of the ACA amendment, there will be a roll call vote on adoption of the Ex-Im amendment (majority vote threshold) and then a cloture vote on the highway substitute (60-vote threshold).

The filing deadline for second degree amendments to the substitute is 1 hour prior to the cloture vote. That would be in the 9:30pm range tonight, depending on how the night goes. The filing deadline for second degree amendments to the underlying bill would be 1 hour prior to the cloture vote on the bill. That deadline would be sometime Wednesday morning.

The chair ruled that the amendment is not in order to be offered as it is inconsistent with the Senate’s precedents with respect to the offering of amendments, their number degree, and kind.

Senator Cruz appealed the ruling of the chair that the amendment is not in order. The appeal of the rule of the chair is debatable until cloture is invoked.

We expect 3 roll call votes on the following items at a time to be determined on Sunday (could be in the 2pm range, but not set yet):

Cloture on McConnell amendment #2328 (ACA repeal), if cloture is not invoked, then

Cloture on Kirk amendment #2327 (Ex-Im reauthorization), if cloture is invoked, then

We expect the first cloture vote to occur mid-afternoon on Sunday, July 26. The first vote would be the McConnell amendment #2328 to repeal the Affordable Care Act. If cloture is not invoked (60-vote threshold), there would be an immediate cloture vote on the Kirk amendment #2327 to reauthorize the Export-Import bank.

If cloture is invoked on the Ex-Im amendment (60-vote threshold), there would be up to 30 hours for debate prior to a vote on adoption of the Ex-Im amendment. We expect that vote to occur Monday. Following disposition of the Ex-Im amendment, there would be a cloture vote on the substitute amendment (highway reauthorization).

At 5:30pm on Monday, July 13, the Senate will vote in relation to the below listed amendments to S.1177, Every Child Achieves Act. We expect one to be a roll call and the other to be a voice vote, but we don’t know which will require the roll call.

Mr. Reed moves that the managers on the part of the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on H.R.1735 (the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016) be instructed to insist that the final conference report fully fund the President’s budget request for the Department of Defense, including $534.3 billion in base budget funding and $50.9 billion in Overseas Contingency Operations budget funding, thereby supporting the bipartisan view that the funding caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 should be eliminated or increased in proportionally equal amounts for the revised security and non-security spending categories.
